ABSTRACT:
A machine (10) is disclosed for processing an insulated wire (12), to sever the wire into a feed end and an eject end, and to remove a selected portion (132) of insulation from each of the ends. The machine (10) includes a wire cutting and stripping unit (22) including left and right cutting and stripping blade holder assemblies (42, 44). Each holder assembly includes three sets of cutting and stripping blades (58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63) for severing and stripping three different wire gage sizes. Additionally, a mechanism (60, 62, 126) is provided for rotating the left and right holder assemblies (42, 44) so that selected blades converge toward each other to effect the severing of the wire (12). After severing the wire, the left and right holder assemblies (42, 44) are further moved in the converging directions so that appropriate blades move into insulation cutting engagement with the feed side end and the eject side end. As the two ends are withdrawn away from the cutting blades, the cut insulation slugs (132) are stripped off and collected by scrap collection tubes (124, 126).
